2000/09/15 - Countering sexual assault statistic critics

This article countermands a previous Cavalier Daily opinion article by Brett Ferrell and Sam Ross, which asserted the inaccuracy of the 'one in four' rape statistic. The writer of this article maintains the accuracy of 'one in four,' and asserts that women are often raped by men they know, and that many women do not report due to the social stigma and victim blaming associated with rape. The writer accuses Ferrell and Ross of victim blaming, and of contributing to a tendency to disbelieve women who report that they have been raped.
